Sordid History

As the Democratic Primary soldiers on, Malik Marshall joins the show to look back on the adultery/paternity scandal that rocked the 2008 campaign. We question John Edwards's decisions from every angle, and ask important questions like, "How much of a scumbag is he? The biggest?"

If this episode seems uniquely juiced to you, it's because we're talking Jose Canseco with SBNation's Seth Rosenthal. We trace his Sordid History back to poor driving during his playing career, escapades with his twin brother Ozzie, and his current inability to stop posting.

Don't take your shoes off on an airplane.

Ahoy! Sordid History is back with its most frustrating episode. Guest Tyler Chatham and I recall Johnny Depp’s bad boy past and then waiver back and forth as to whether the domestic violence allegations against him from Amber Heard are true. You know evidence is conflicting when even I won’t jump to a conclusion.

My close personal friend Michael Springthorpe makes his 5th appearance on the pod to talk about the sex scandal and downfall of Florida congressman Mark Foley, who he met as a child. We recount Foley's almost ten-year run of sending sexual messages to underaged men, and have a lot of questions. Then, as we are wont to do, we go on a tangent about the film Spotlight and then about Palm Beach County, where Springthorpe is from and Foley was a congressman.

All in all, good stuff.

As you might imagine, since there is a Sordid History episode about him, Morgan Freeman is not America's Grandpa like people think he is, unless your idea of a grandpa is a dirty old man. My good friend Andre Barrera joined the show to talk through the actor's years of sexual harassment and another long-running transgression that I do not want to give away in the description. So ha. You've gotta listen to find out now.

It's been a long time coming, but the show is finally tackling one of the biggest takedowns of the #MeToo era, Louis CK. Sam Speedy, a very funny and insightful friend who was on the sixth episode of the show, is back to grapple with how we first encountered the rumors and why it took so long to come out.

Unlike the thing that Louis liked to do, it is perfectly fine to listen to this podcast in front of co-workers.

BUY A SHIRT. LEAVE A RATING. CALL YOUR MOTHER.

Remember when Rob Lowe recorded a sex tape with a sixteen year-old girl? Well, we sure do. Comic Vinay Umapathy climbs aboard to retell Rob Lowe's experience at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Vinay is funny and so is this episode.

Happy 2019! Sordid History is back and better than ever, this time with good friend and comedy writer Graham Dunn to talk about an unfortunate habit of the late president Bush. Also, we have a brief update on Woody Allen and briefly wade into the waters of politics. Exciting stuff.

The midterms are over, so it's time to uncover some Sordid History for someone who one, namely New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez. Michael Brooks of The Michael Brooks Show, the Majority Report, and the Woke Bros joins the show to discuss this specific instance of political corruption and how it relates to the broad corruption across American politics. We also poke fun at the Florida ophthalmologist Menendez was trading favors with, so you're gonna want to stick around for that.

SORRY FOR THE AUDIO ISSUES FOR THE LAST THIRD OF THE EPISODE.
